The Best Comfort Food You've Ever Made in the Slow Cooker

By Sarah Lipoff

When you're craving something comforting, this is what you need to make. Your slow cooker does all the work for a creamy, delicious bowl of goodness. And using pierogies just makes sense. After it's simmered for hours, shred the chicken, add in the frozen pierogies, and dinner is served.
